0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.
0:10.4	I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out all the very many things that we are doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.
0:20.5	This past week, Jeremy Jones was in Crested Butte to see his son Cass compete in and win
0:27.0	the IFSA Junior three-star comp at CBMR.
0:32.2	So big congratulations to you, Cass, and it was great to meet you.
